Prescott went to the locker room, but returned to the sideline a short time later and threw passes with backup quarterback Cooper Rush. According to the TV broadcast, X-rays on the hand came back negative.

The second-year QB got an extended respite thanks to Ryan Switzer’s 83-yard punt return touchdown with 3:46 to play. Prescott returned to the field for the Cowboys’ final drive of the half, completing two passes and heaving a more-than-50-yard incompletion on the final play.

He was back on the field to start the third quarter as well. Rush is the only other quarterback on the Cowboys' active roster.
